Definition: Confirmation bias is when we only remember the events that we want to remember because they coincide with our beliefs. Which leads us to disregard the events that didn't coincide with our beliefs.

Connection: I think that this image is very funny and it shows very well how confirmation bias works. The girl in the photo is telling the boy that she is documenting all of his bullying during the meeting. The boy says that she will now have a confirmation bias and think everything he says is bullying. As you can see in the image, the boy is right. This shows that confirmation bias is a very big red flag in plenty real life scenarios.

Definition: The Ancient Wisdom red flag shows that it is wrong to think that ancients had more knowledge than modern day science. Many people believe that the ancient wisdom practices are more efficient because they are said to have more knowledge than other practices.

Connection: In this photo, the pope is at a hospital seeing this little girl. This photo shows ancient wisdom because many people believe that prayers and religious practices can help heal an ill person. It is not proven that the power of prayer can be affective but many people have strong beliefs through ancient wisdom.

Definition: If someone portrays themselves as a celebrity, president or someone with greater knowledge than anyone else, they are more likely to be listened to. If one of these people made a claim or statement, they are more likely to be believed because of their authoritative image.

Connection: Donald trump is an example of appeal to authority. He is the president of the United States. If he is speaking to the public about his ideas and what he believes will make America great again, the public will most likely believe him over what others have to say. This is because of his authoritative image (president of the United States) and high status.
